This book, and the others in its series, is a delightful read. Not only is the story great and will get the attention of young readers, but the book also comes with lovely black and white illustrations which will really encourage young readers to stick with the book. Now, the actual book, I would say, is for a more independent reader (way above my six year old), still, if you are willing to read it to your young child they will, I guarantee love the story. Another great feature of this book is the quality of the writing: In other words, very well written thus introducing the reader towards suing a little more of a sophisticated lexicon.
